Each VNC connection gets its own login/desktop - separate from the actual
desktop. VNC only works this way on Linux. On Windows, VNC will
"takeover" the desktops. I haven't tried the Xorg capabilities in this
area - slow to change old habits. It's your responsibility to ensure that
the applications you run are actually designed for concurrent access.
Others have covered other points rather well...
